Some of you may come to know that I absolutely adore Little Boots, in much the same way as some of you may come to realise that eating your shoes is rarely a good way to pass the time. So, if you haven't yet realised it, here it is. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Little Boots. The italo-disco influences, the Dead Disco stuff, the personality, the fact she hasn't made a bad song yet, I could go on...but anyway, I have been in love with this woman since I first heard Meddle back in May/June last year.
So, I was naturally rather excited when I could finally listen to an unadulterated version of New In Town as opposed to the trillion or so remixes that I have been pestered with since I first tried searching for it. And here it is...
Little Boots - New In Town on YooToob
Well, it really is quite glorious, and will almost certainly get her the smash #1 she deserves on its release on May 25th etc. etc...but amongst all that, I can't help but be reminded of several songs at once, none of which I can quite put my finger on. I'm a tad disconcerted also by the fact it's the first Boots song that actually sounds like it's been crafted with the idea of being a smash hit in mind - which, don't get me wrong here, isn't necessarily a bad thing at all, but New In Town definitely sounds distinctly different to her other output to date...in the vocal delivery perhaps? I don't know, I can't put my finger on it at all. None of this stops New In Town from being an epic tune which I will doubtless be willing to douse myself in petrol and set myself alight for by May (once Eurovision has relinquished my affections of course...), and of course that is all that matters. Carry on Victoria, and let's hope that you have a nice Dr. Luke/Max Martin smash for us for your third single! <3
